Three Fires Council

       Scout Adventure Camp Campaign

The Three Fires and Des Plaines Valley Councils have planned a historic and exciting project, a joint Scout Adventure Camp, representing a first in Scouting.  The Councils are engaged in the development and operations of a Scout resident camp and a year-round camp for all levels of Scouting at the Adventure Camp.

The camping adventure is the heart of Scouting.  The building of our Adventure Camp will both recruit and retain Cub Scouts who will continue to benefit from the objectives of the Boy Scout to build character; train boys in the responsibilities of participating citizenship; and develop their personal fitness.

The Campaign – The Time is Now!

Now, more than ever before, Scouting needs you. Boys today are facing challenges never imagined. The heart and soul of our Scouting program is the outdoor adventure. Boys are naturally attracted to the outdoors and the outdoors is where a boy learns skills, confidence and character that will carry him successfully through his adult life. The addition of Cub Scout Adventure Camp is a comprehensive project that will ensure that the next generation of young people – our children and grandchildren – will have first-class camping facilities that will provide them with memories to last a lifetime. To make these plans happen, Three Fires and Des Plaines Valley Councils are embarking on a historic joint campaign. The joint capital campaign will allow us to add a number of new educational and high adventure opportunities for Cubs, Scouts and their families. Through the development of a Cub Adventure Camp at the Adventure Camp Ranch, we will be positioned to train and raise a new generation of young men through the Scouting program. We hope you will partner with us to fulfill the need to bring fun, adventure and education to children, young adults and families throughout our region. The children of today need the structure, the adventure and the challenge of Scouting.

Scout Adventure Camp

Plans call for a Cub Scout Adventure Camp that will offer boys aged seven to ten years of age, a chance to learn, have fun and enjoy experiences that will enrich and shape their lives.

Through these programs, boys will be encouraged to explore, to observe and to play – and their parents and families will have the opportunity to participate with them, offering a unique way to strengthen their family bonds. A Cub Scout Adventure Camp can offer a variety of opportunities for boys to build life skills while letting their imaginations go wild and also provide families with a way to spend quality time together.

The outdoors is Scouting’s classroom. Camping is fun and exciting—an adventure every Scout eagerly awaits. Camp fires, tents, cabins, hikes and the great outdoors—these are the images of Boy Scout summer camp. No doubt it is a place of fun and excitement, but hidden within the adventure, lies the true reason such camps are offered to Scouts, physically and intellectually challenging activities, new and rewarding experiences, and supportive and caring relationships with peers and adults. Each boy is accompanied by a parent or attends the camp under the guidance of a fellow Cub Scout’s parent. The environment and activities provided help boys experience healthy youth development.
